Feathered Architects.

Among the curiosities of nature there are none better worthy of study than the nests ot birds. The skill displayed by these little architects is simply wonderful.and one is lost in wonder at the knowledge, patience, and perse- verance of these feathered build CTS. Especially is this the case of pensile birds, that suspend their habitations on branches, some times hanging them over the wa ter.
 The weaver birds, which em- braces several varieties, is one of the most ingenious of the penslle birds. Ut generally hangs its nest on a twig over the water, and so low down that if a monkey at tempts to steal the eggs, which it is apt to do, the twig bends with it's weight, and cold bath is the consequence. The Mahah weaver bird of South Africa is a very small bird with an ambition to live in avery large house, and indus try enough to build it for herself. The shape of the nest is similar to an oil flask, but of course, greatly magnified in dimensions, and very rough on the outside. The socia- ble weaver birds unite their efforts and make kind of thatched root under which or rather in which they build their nests. Sometimes this .stranture is 10 feet square. Each nest is shut out from every other, although all are under the same roof, and while the whole community join in building the roof, each pair builds its own nest. The commencement is interwoven with the branches of the trees, the whole structure being neat and compact.
 The palm swift of Jamaica, so called from its rapid flight, builds a curious nest which it hangs to a spathe of the cocoanut palm. The exterior is of cotton and the inte- rior of feathers, the walls being very strong and compact. Some times it builds several nests and glues them together, leaving an opening between them like a gal lery.
 The lauceo late honey-eater, builds nest in the shape of a hammock, and suspends it to small twig. It Is made of grass and wood mixed with the down of certain flowers. This nest is very deep and comfortable, and may probably have suggested to man the hammock.
 The tailor-hird which is a native of India, is quite expert in sewing. It makes a long nest of leaves which it sews together with the ii- Der of plant, piercing holes in them with it's heak. In the hollow formed, it deposits quantity of cotton, thus preparing a soft, warm nest for it's young.-Selected.

The Fruit Garden in Early Winter.

December is often a prolonga- ton, as to weather, of November: in fact, of October, also, and work suitable to those months may be continued. However mild in the first days of the month, cold often shuts down with snap, and we should be prepared at any day for the announcement that "winter is here". # Sometimes it is even mild enough to continue tree plantig, but if the soil is at all fro zen, leave the trees where they are.

MORE CRANKS.

This seems to be peculiarly the age of
Cranks. There have been cranks in all
ages and in every country, but these
peculiar mortals with their peculiar
ideas are developing more numerously
now than ever before. A new one has
just appeared on the surface. showing
himself as the editor of Amsricuqs Liberty.
little journal published at Hampton,
Va. He accepts the Henry George
theories in regard to land, and goes
still further in the matter of vsgaries.
In his opinion there are three things
which have oppressed and are Oppress-
ing mankind, and these are, in their
order, human slavery ownership of land
by individuals and interest charges on
money. Slavery has been abolished in
this country, and nov our contempo-
rary would extinguish the two other
evils, in ord n that there may be no
further labor troubles, no more pow
erty, no more Socialism and no more
Anarchy, the millennium being at
hand. Says the editor: The third
great branch of this trio of evil, or
accessory means OF labor and enslave-
ment, is in the form of interest on
money. He who holds an interest
bearing mortgage on our land or prop
erty, commands our labor or its pro-
ducts as surely as if he owned the land
or property. Interest is only another
form of rent, therefore interest must be
abolished.
The edlt;r does not ADVOCATE VIC
leCce as so many of the cranks do,
but wants to bring about the
reform by mild and gentle means. He
appeals to the peopie to act according
to the golden rule which ''strikes at the
root of sill evil, and brings peace OF
earth and good will to man" He
neither denOunces nor threatens in case
the world fails to adopt his views; nor
does he propose to overturn society, al
though he declares that as long as men
go on paying rent and interest so long
crime will increase, and acute, mad,
violent, blind, destructive Anarchy"
will threaten the world.
There will ever be verdsnt, trusting
people to follow the cranks, and in all
probability american Liberty will attract
supporters OF its idle, impracticable
views. just as Henry Georges land tax
vagaries have gained supporters.
Money is like any other commodity,
being worth what it will bring. It is
governed by the law of suppIy and de-
msnd, the same as other commercial
articles. There will be interest, or there
will be no loaning Of money, and the
interest will be regulated by the scarcity
of cash and the necessities OF the Dor
| rover.

ments. Everybody, and lawyers,
officials and litigants in particular,
recognize the necessity of a thorough
revision, and the classification and ar
rangement of the statutes 80 that one
may know, without guessing, which are
living laws, and may also be able to find
the law on subject without examining
a library of books.
In this connection it may be re-
marked that the sixty days session will
lot give the Assembly time to compile
and revise the laws with that care
which the work demands, hence
il has been suggested that the mem
bers of the Legislature give the
matter as much attention as they can
during the few weeks before the open
ing OF the session, and thus prepare
themselves for intelligent action when
the time shall come. II would also be
well if the members to whom the task
will. in all PROBABILITY, be delegated
could get together at once and begin
operations, at least so far as the sppOr.
tionment of the labor among them
selves is concerned. If reasonable dill
gence and industry shall be shown. the
revision can be COM leted and acted
upon at the coming session, and pro-
Visioui made for the publication of the
volume. Unless there shall be su b dill
gence, two years must elapse before the
revision can be completed and adopted.
AS this matter will be by far the
most important to come before the AS
sembly, it should not be neglected, tut
should be given the attention which its
merits demand for it.

Another illustration of deaf mutes

railroad tracks was depressingly illus
tratcd last evening Fred Stenmer, aged
81, both deaf and dumb, had been doing
some painting on the water tank at Was
tertown, and was returning from work
shortly after o'clock. He started for
the depot, taking the middle of the track.
He had covered about half the distance,
when the Milwaukee passenger train came
laundering along. Engineer Bliss sounds
ed the whistle, and when he saw the man
paid no attention to it, reversed his en-
CINE as quickly as possible. But of course
he could not stop the train in time, and
the engine struck the unfortunate man
with terrific force. He was picked up
unconscious and carried to a house near
by. His head was badly bruised, and
one of his ankles broken.
Stemmer was still in comatose condi-
ton this morning. and his recovery is
very doubtful. He lives at Savanna
Engineer Bliss says the statement in
the Union is incorrect in regard TO his
not sounding any alarm. He ierked the
whistle valve WIDE open and made all the
noise he could. He says he also saw
Stemmers father signal, and applied the
brakes Immediately. but the distance was
so short it was impossible to stop the
train.

A BOLD BURGLARY.
A Jewelry Store Broken Into on
Second Avenue.
A Hole Broken In the Plate Glass
Window with n Coupling Pin
Property Valued at ss5 Taken.

The boldest burglary and robbery that
has been committed in Rock Island
since the Peetz jewelry store robbery five
years ago occurred in this city some time
last night At Obs last night Mr.. H. d.
Folsom locked up the jewelry store of
II. D. & E. D. Folsom, 1907 Second ave,
nue., and went home. When he opened
up the store at o'clock this morning he
was not long in discovering the fact that
the store had been burglarized during the
night. A hole large enough to admit
small hand had been actually drilled
through the lower right hand corner of
the plate glass window. A coupling pin
lay in the window and it doubtless was
the only instrument used in the opera
ton. The glass was so thick and elastic
that it must have taken considerable time
and patience to perform the task. The
person must have walked up and down
in front of the window for ten minutes,
probably hitting the window tap each
time he passed The hole shows that
the glass was first cracked and then
little bits of glass knocked off until the
opening was of sufficient width to allow
a small hand to pass through. The burg
lar bears marks of his work, as there is
blood on one of the sharp curves of the
broken glass.
There was considerable valuable props
erty in the window. but only few artis
| Giles were taken-a gentlemans hunting
case gold watch, lady's chetlain watch,
and one or two rings were taken from a
plush harp in which they were exhibited.
The total value was SIS. There was sev>
| eral hundred dollars worth of jewelry in the
window at the time, including opera
glasses, bracelets, rings, chains, etc. and
the burglar might as well have had three
times the amount he got. A number OF
valuable rings were discovered outside on
the window ledge this morning. and this
| together with the fact that SO small a

the marauder must have become alarmed
and fed before being anything like re.
warded for his trouble.
